As part of our Online Strategy, The Kwazulu Natal Master Builders Association is in the process of developing a brand new Website. Following an extensive review, the following four objectives have been identified:

Promote the use of Members to the Public and to other Members.

Create Awareness of Products and Services offered to the Members.

Establish an online Community for Members.

Source of information and guidance for Members and the Public.

With the above objectives in mind, we would like the new Website to be multi-faceted; a Source of Information, a Business Tool and a Marketing Channel. Some of the features that will be included will be:

A 'Members Only' Online Discussion Forum - This element is being fast-tracked and we hope to have the Health & Safety Sub Forum up before the end of the year.

Blog - This Blog will soon be incorporated into the website and there will be links to various posts, from the site and from our Monthly Email Newsletters.

A Virtual Showroom - A showcase of Top Products and Services for the Building Trade

Comprehensive 'Find-a-Member' function, which will enable Members and the Public to search for a Member using a host of different search criteria in a user-friendly layout.

Brand New section on Green Building.

These are just some of the many features of our new website, which we will have live in the early part of the New Year. Look out for more information and regular updates here.
